Three days later, Yu Zhinian met with the interviewee Liu Han who had made an appointment.

Liu Han was Yu Zhinian's roommate when he was renting a house in an urban village. He was an enthusiastic person who loved reading in his spare time and helped Yu Zhinian a lot.

They met at an open-air noodle shop next to Liu Han's new construction site. Yu Zhinian invited Liu Han to eat a bowl of ramen, and the two chatted while eating.

The sun was very high at noon that day, Yu Zhinian couldn't eat anything, he only wanted a bottle of ice soda.The two chatted for more than an hour, and Liu Han received a call from the contractor, urging him to go back to the construction site.

Yu Zhinian had almost completed the follow-up questions, so he paid the bill.

Knowing that Yu Zhinian was leaving soon, Liu Han shook hands with Yu Zhinian with some reluctance.

After saying goodbye, Yu Zhinian walked towards the subway station. After a short walk, he felt close to familiarity. When he raised his head, he suddenly saw the top of a familiar building tower, and was startled that he was near a high school.

The location of the school was originally the suburb of the city. With the development and expansion of Ning City in recent years, it was gradually surrounded by high-rise buildings and became the center of the district.

The spire he saw was the multimedia building, and the top floor was used as a small theater inside the school, and the drama club sometimes performed some plays in it.

Yu Zhinian and Yang Ke went to a play once, and the ticket was given by a certain school girl. She played a romantic girl in the play.

Yu Zhinian invited Yang Ke to go with him that afternoon. Yang Ke was swimming at home and had just finished swimming to warm up.Yu Zhinian knelt by the pool and could smell the faint smell of bleach in the air.

The swimming pool is blue, like the ocean or the sunny sky. There are lush green plants planted outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the swimming pool. The reflection of the water surface cuts the white roof into a wavy halo, causing a kind of emptiness and heat in the pavilion.

Yang Ke was in the water, raised his face to look at Yu Zhinian, his black hair was dripping water down his jawbone to his chin.

Yu Zhinian remembered asking Yang Ke: "Tomorrow at 07:30, are you free to watch this movie with me?"

He handed the ticket given by his junior to Yang Ke, wanting Yang Ke to see it clearly, but for some reason, the ticket slipped out of his fingers and fell into the pool.

Yang Ke didn't say anything, he fished the ticket out of the water for him, looked down at it, and put it on the shore.

The theater tickets were color-printed on white cardboard, and after being wet with water, they stuck limply to the marble tiles on the shore.

Yu Zhinian picked it up in embarrassment, and found that the patterns and characters on the cardboard were a bit blurred.

"Can I still enter the venue if the ticket is wet?" Yang Ke asked him.

"I don't know," Yu Zhinian hesitated, "It should be possible."

Yang Ke said to him: "Try to dry it tomorrow." He agreed to Yu Zhinian's invitation, turned around and submerged in the water again.

Yu Zhinian has no memory of the specific content of this play at all. He only remembers walking into the dim school theater with Yang Ke at night.

The students checking tickets were absent-mindedly looking at their phones, not questioning them about the wet and dry tickets.The theater has a smell of old wood furniture.

Yang Ke sat beside him quietly and watched the whole play with him.

In Yu Zhinian's memory, many scenes of their getting along are silent.Yang Ke doesn't talk much in private, and Yu Zhinian always keeps silent with him.

After the play ended, Yu Zhinian received a text message from his junior, asking Yu Zhinian to go backstage to meet her.

The driver had already stopped outside the north gate of the theater on time, Yang Ke didn't leave first, he went with Yu Zhinian, and stood outside the back door of the theater waiting.

Yu Zhinian walked into the backstage, but the school girl was not there, and another girl who looked familiar was waiting inside. She introduced herself very nervously, stumbling and saying that she had liked Yu Zhinian for two years.

She asked Yu Zhinian if he had a girlfriend, Yu Zhinian remembered it very clearly, and he answered her: "No, but I'm chasing her."

The girl froze for a moment, then stood there for a while, and said, "I wish you catch up soon." Yu Zhinian said thank you, and she couldn't help crying.

Yu Zhinian was good at handling such situations, and didn't think there was anything difficult at the time.

He politely waited until the girl stopped crying before going out with her.

She walked quickly and ran to the stairs. Yang Ke stood by the pillar, waiting for him with arms folded.

"Sorry," Yu Zhinian said to Yang Ke, "It's been a while."

Yang Ke smiled at him, rarely made fun of him, and asked Yu Zhinian: "Are you attracting bees and butterflies everywhere you go?"

"No way," Yu Zhinian vaguely denied, and made it up casually, "I'll fill out the drama club's questionnaire."

"Really?" Yang Ke was half a head taller than Yu Zhinian. At the stairs, his shadow shrouded Yu Zhinian's body. Looking at Yu Zhinian, his eyes were very dark, and he said in a relaxed tone, "Go and get One, fill it out for me too."

But the next moment, Yang Ke's grandfather called to urge Yu Zhinian to go home, and asked him if the show was over and if he got in the car.

The conversation did not continue.

At that time, Yu Zhinian always thought that Yang Ke treated him differently from others, and they got along more familiarly.Know each other's more secrets, so the relationship is closer than ordinary friends.

But now I don't think so, maybe most of them are misreading.

Yang Ke is a hard-to-understand and hard-to-please person, moody and unpredictable.Yu Zhinian sometimes analyzed his motives and thinking logic all night, but he still couldn't figure it out.

The scorching sun was in the sky, Yu Zhinian was sunburned and dizzy.Walking into the subway station, the shade covered him, and his head became clearer.

After swiping the QR code to enter the subway, while waiting for the train, Yu Zhinian received an airline ticket text message, indicating that the flight from Ningshi to Heshi has been issued, and the time is May [-]th.

Before he had time to think about it, Lawyer Li, the attorney of Grandpa Yang Ke's estate, called.

At this time, the subway came into the station and made a loud noise.

Nanqiao Station is a big station, and there are many passengers going up and down. Yu Zhinian squeezed up with the crowd, walked to the side, grabbed the metal pole, and answered Li Lu's call.

Li Lu was talking over there, but Yu Zhinian couldn't hear him very clearly. After asking several times, he finally figured out that he was saying that he bought the ticket for Yu Zhinian just now.

"Smith told...you'll be back soon," Attorney Li's voice sounded broken, "As for Chairman Yang...about the testament and trust, we...have a meeting as soon as possible and...buy a plane ticket for you.

"If you really...relinquish this trust...a lot of signatures.

"In addition...you...don't understand some regulations of this trust...and explain it to you carefully. In the past few days...you must seriously consider whether you want to make...a decision.

"Zhi Nian... From the bottom of my heart, I personally don't recommend it."

Yu Zhinian agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Zhinian suddenly wanted to send Yang Ke a message, but he didn't know what to say.

He said that the date of his return trip was fixed, and he had rented a house to store the things he moved out of Yang Ke's house, and then asked about Yang Ke's recent situation.

He made a sacrifice and deserves to be rewarded.

There are eight stops from Nanqiao Station to Ningda Station. In 25 minutes, Yu Zhinian thought about all the opening lines of the chat, and finally suppressed the desire to communicate, telling himself that Yang Ke did not want to receive any information from him at all. .

Because passivity means disinterest and indifference means dislike.Yu Zhinian has grown up.

The door of the carriage opened, and the subway arrived.

Yu Zhinian ended his delusions, grabbed his cell phone tightly, and walked out of the subway with his bag on his back.The edge of the phone pressed against his fingertips, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't relax.

After getting on the elevator, getting off the elevator, and exiting the station, he habitually picked up his phone again, checking the screen for maybe ten thousand times.

Anticipation without expectation floats up from the bottom of the water bottle like tiny air bubbles.

When Yu Zhinian still didn't receive any news from Yang Ke, the bubbles that floated to the surface of the water burst.
